The iPad 9th Gen is a popular tablet for the whole family, whether it's used for online classes, watching movies, or for the kids to play games. With such versatile use, accidents can happen easily—from being dropped, bumped against a table edge, or getting crushed by heavy items in a bag, resulting in a cracked front glass. But we have good news! If the glass is cracked but the image on the screen is still perfectly fine, you don't always need to replace the entire display unit. Let's look at this case from a client who brought their iPad Gen 9 (model A2602) to cmns Mac Repair Chiang Mai.
Condition Before Repair:
- Device: iPad Gen 9 (Model A2602)
- Symptoms: The front touchscreen glass was heavily cracked across the entire surface. However, when turned on, the internal LCD display worked perfectly with vivid colors and a sharp image.
The Repair Process by cmns Mac Repair Chiang Mai: For this iPad model (and many others), the "touchscreen glass" and the "LCD display" are separate components. This allows us to perform a precision repair:
- Assessment and Testing: Our technician inspects the device to confirm that the internal LCD is indeed undamaged and that the touch system is responsive (despite interference from the cracks).
- Applying Heat and Opening the Screen: We use specialized heating equipment to soften the adhesive around the edges. Then, using thin, strong tools, we carefully pry off the broken touchscreen glass assembly.
- Home Button Transfer and Cleaning: The most critical step is transferring the original Home Button, which contains the Touch ID sensor, to the new touchscreen panel. This ensures the fingerprint scanning function works 100% as before. We then thoroughly clean all old adhesive from the device's frame.
- Installing and Testing the New Touchscreen: The new touchscreen panel is installed, its connectors are attached, and we test the touch response across every area of the screen before sealing the device.
- Final Assembly: Once testing is successful, our technician applies special screen adhesive and reassembles the device to a like-new condition, followed by a final cleanup.
Result After Repair: The iPad Gen 9 now has a beautiful, clear, crack-free screen. The touchscreen is smooth and responsive everywhere, just like new. Most importantly, Touch ID functions normally. The client received their device back ready for use, at a much more affordable price than a full display unit replacement.
